From the Manhattan Series intro page in the Holiday 1993 catalog (see the first thumbnail) it sounds like Whateve is right about it being based on the Lightweight line.

In this thumbnail of the catalog page for the Museum Bag it gives the strap length as 41 inches, which seems like it refers to the end-to-end strap length, and the last 2 inches of the strap doesn't have holes for the buckle which means the wearable strap length is about 39-40 inches maximum with an approximate drop length of maybe 18 or 19 inches. If the 41-inch measurement is the wearble length, add another inch or two. (Coach's measurements sometimes weren't terribly accurate either). Someone short and slender could probably wear it cross-body, but from personal experience someone tall or "fluffy" might find it a bit short to be comfortably worn that way. Even the width of a bag at the top between the strap attachments can affect how comfortable it is when worn cross-body. I've lost count of how many bags I ordered sight unseen and ended up getting rid of because the strap was just a bit too short for crossbody wear on my rather zaftig bod. :graucho:

Hello guys,
I would like some help authenticating this Coach purse.
I got it at Goodwill for $10.
third picture is of the back and last picture is of the front.
Thank you! :biggrin:
The bag is authentic and it's a Soho flap bag from 2006.

Note that this thread is for identifying and naming bags that are known to be authentic.

If you aren't sure of authenticity, post on this thread:
Authenticate This COACH - **see first post for format**
 
Thank you so much ladies, it is really pretty IMO now that I can see a clear picture.

I knew you could help me, we newbies can count on you more than on the IRS demanding our taxes, LOL
I really love that piece work/ color combo and sigh whenever I see that bag listed. I know that style does not work for me. You know it comes in a deep red color combo too?
@whateve It was made as a tote?? :nuts: Totes do work for me!
